69 Tech Blogs That Don’t Suck

July 8th, 2007

I realize that alot of people don’t go out and find good blogs. I want to democratize the process. Here is a list of blogs that I read, and that I think are really awesome reads in general, no matter what you are interested. This post is what I achieved when I tried to get the most out of my blog reading. I hope it gives you a sense of a blog pulse. I am definitely feeling it. These are in no particular order, so don’t feel bad if your blog is a lower number.

    Great list. I monitor many of these, and you’ve added a few I didn’t know of. Hope its not considered spam to recommend another but I’d suggest Metue (www.metue.com) be on the list. Or a future list. It’s not a widely known site. I found it a couple weeks ago but have been very impressed with its quality and perspective.

  2. david lee said,

    This is a nice list, i have some of them on my rss reader. guess some more to add. Anyone visited http://www.irintech.com. check it out they are quite like digg and getting popular too.

  3. Watch TV said,

    Great list, I can’t say I read even 10% of them.. I’ve been to some, some I haven’t heard of and others I check semi-weekly.

  4. Allen Stern said,

    I would hope you don’t think mine sucks:
    http://www.centernetworks.com

    Looks like you basically pulled the good ones out of the Technorati 100?

  5. Eric said,

    It makes me smile to see that endadget is not on the list. They are given WAY too much credit.

  6. Brian said,

    Perhaps a few words on what each blog covers would be nice since I’m not familiar with all of them and I don’t necessarily have time to investigate each one.

    My blog will be listed one day in this list soon :)

  11. What? said,

    This is a terrible list… some of these blogs haven’t been updated in forever… for instance Tech Puddle hasn’t been updated in almost 2 YEARS.

  12. espire said,

    I’m sorry, but you happened to forget Engadget! How could you possibly forget it? Even Bill Gates reads it!

    And Joystiq may have a few crappy writers, but it’s generally a good blog. Guess it’s more for gaming, though.

    Hey! http://www.GadgetNutz.com doesn’t suck either! We’re very proud of our record of non-suckiness!

  17. arturo said,

    I would put TechEBlog.com on the list!!!

  18. Thank you said,

    A real deep thank you for (rightly so) not including the awful engaydget blog – it goes against everything good in the world, I hate the commercialized link whoring place!

    gizmodo FTW! i

  22. Satya Prakash Karan said,

    Ok I checked few. Good blogs.

  23. Scott said,

    Another good one is

    http://www.comnetslash.com

    Although a new comer, this one seems to do well in covering alot of new tech news regarding everything techy related.

    The ones are above are well established blogs that have been around for a while. CNS is one to note for the future.

  24. bryan said,

    Thanks for the list, but I would have preferred if you gave some reasoning to it. I visit a handful of these sites religiously, but I have never heard of some of the others.

    Maybe a little blurb about each of them and what they stand for – that could have saved me time from going through each and every one – but good list nonetheless!

  25. Josh said,

    Uhhh Hello??? Ever hear of Engadget? The best tech blog on the Internet!?!?

  26. Pietro Skiano said,

    One not so techy, but oh so funny is this california kid starting up a business with his good buddy, running rough shod over Berlin, their new stopming grounds. Not for the faint of heart.

    http://www.jdubblog.com

  27. Skinp said,

    WIll be buried if Engadget is not added to the lot!!!

  28. AuroraAlpha said,

    This list isn’t very good, your missing the very best one of all:
    engadget.com

  29. lawton chiles said,

    This so so valuable. Thank you for taking the time to put it all together, take the screen shots, and do the hyper linking.

    This will take me some time to go though…:)

  30. Chris said,

    What about http://www.frostfirebuzz.com ?

  31. Carl said,

    Hi,

    Another site which is quickly gathering many readers, and which a lot of people haven’t really heard of yet, is Beskerming.com (link above), specifically, the commentary section. Okay, so I represent it, but we are getting strong interest building from within the tech media community (which is actually how most people have found the site). It might be worth a look.

  32. Luis said,

    Damn, I wish I was on the list. Great list, btw.

  33. Paul Turdrot said,

    I can’t believe you didn’t include Paul Thurrot’s Internet Nexus. Paul is an obvious genius and knows everything. His insight is amazing; in fact, he is almost as good as Rob Enderle!

  34. handy_man said,

    Thanks dude, i’ve been reading some of those mentioned and im sure gonna take a look at all the rest.

  35. Thunk Different said,

    Here are some more good ones.

  36. Digital Punch TV said,

    If you’re looking for a great Tech vLog… check out Digital Punch Tv. A great mix if tech/web news and comedy.

  37. WebGyver said,

    Awesome stuff! I knew some of those BLOGs before coming here, but I’m gonna be busy for a couple of days, checking out the others.

    Thank you for providing this information. Extremely useful, educational and entertaining (at least for me). Isn’t it amazing how different people perceive the BLOGosphere, what’s important and all that, based on a number of intangible preferences?

    Did you forget one? Personally, I think the WebGyver BLOG should be somewhere on this list, too, between number 1 and 69.

    Thanks again!

  38. Clint Ecker said,

    You don’t read Ars Technica? And you call yourself a geek?! :-D

  39. Amr said,

    That is a very good list. I am already regularly reading many of these blogs, and this post showed me some other good ones that I haven’t seen before. Thanks

  40. Ariejan said,

    Well, I’d like to think my own blog doesn’t suck. But since it not in this list…

    Nicely put together. Maybe add RSS Feed links for everyone to enjoy?

  41. Dan Blank said,

    Thanks for including me on the list! Have a great day.

  42. regeya said,

    Kuro5hin, a tech site that doesn’t suck? C’MON! Kuro5hin has been tech-hostile for at least 5 years, and is a ghost of its former self. After the pax americana crapstorm, it just sort of dried up and turned into something that’s barely evolved beyond LOLCATS.

    I won’t argue with any of the rest, though.

  43. WS said,

    Nice collection of tech blogs – good one – thanks for the effort :)

  126. AMYbN31 said,

    Your issue about this good post is best and some students would plainly use it for the already written essay or custom term paper. I do think that can be a really brilliant solution for students which don’t really have a lot of time to order an essay. But for me, this is more workable to use a help of the professional writing services.

  127. Kirsten22 said,

    Really useful information. Thanks because that is the useful fact.If you want to get a excellent paper about this topic you can use plagiarism detector, and i’ll approve you to check it in http://www.plagiarismsearch.com ! unlike those services, they offer exceptional quality guaranty that your work is dump of plagiarism. You like to order custom written essays choosing the plagiarism detection. They will give you an accurate plagiarism detection reporting without any delay.

    I’m the same way, I do my best to remain neutral. It’s hard, if you communicate with the person the other person dislikes, then you fall out of favor with them! I simple can’t dislike a person, just because someone else does, I just can’t.
